I currently have a TSW wheel (am very happy with it) After hearing the raves about the FF patch w/ GPL, am considering a FF wheel. Will I be disappointed with the quality after being spoiled by the TSW or will I be thrilled :-) If thrilled is the answer, which wheel would be the best Thanks, Hank

If you get the Logitech, you may be pleasantly surprised. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >I currently have a TSW wheel (am very happy with it) >After hearing the raves about the FF patch w/ GPL, >am considering a FF wheel.

I don't know the TSW though I heard lots of positive news about it but I don't think you should compare it with FF wheels. No doubt the TSW is a quality product but..... Since two weeks I own the Logitech WFF (before this I had a cheap wheel, not bad though) and love it! Be warned: If you played GPL with FF you can't go back anymore! A lot of people wonder whether FF did improve their laptimes, to me this is not an important issue (allthough I think in time your times will indeed improve, you have to get used to this especially when you are totally familiar with your current non-FF hardware and adapted your style accordingly), gameplay is! Probably FF technology will improve a lot the next couple of years but at the moment the LWFF i.c.w. GPL is really amazing. If you're still in love with your TSW don't try the logitech! Jan.

The Logithech wheel is VERY fun with GPL, but the pedals are a disaster in my opinion. Very little travel, no pivoting of the pedal head, and they "feel" cheap, like they are gonna bust any time now.

No. I never made a reference to that. I was referring to the Logitech pedals feeling a little TOO plastic. I don't own a TSW, so I can not comment on that product.

In GPL, I can use my TSW pedals with my ACTLABS Force RS wheel. My ACTLABS wheel plugs to the serial port, and my TSW to my gamecard. I set the Force RS as controller #1 in windows control panel and the TSW as Controller #2. GPL will see the TSW pedals and Force RS wheel as an additional axis and allow you to configure/calibrate. Pretty awesome! -- * rrevved at mindspring dot com
